“It is nothing less than self-idolatry to conceive that we can carry on even the ordinary matters of the day without his counsel.  He loves to be consulted.  Therefore, take all thy difficulties to be resolved by him.”  (Charles Bridges 1794-1869)

“We must never think of our cross as our penalty; we must think of it as our glory…The harder the task we give a student, or a craftsman, or a surgeon, the more we honour him. We, in effect, say that we believe that nobody but him could attempt that task at all.  So when it is hard to be a Christian, we must regard it as our glory, as our honor given to us by God.”  (W. Barclay)

“The Christ of the Scriptures is He that died on the cross of Calvary, not for His principle, not as a noble example for us to follow, but because He was delivered for our transgressions, and in our stead brought to God the perfect sacrifice for sins, fully satisfying the justice of God with respect to all our transgressions.”  (Herman Hoeksema  1886-1965)
